Universal problem BT port

---

Hi all,
Cannot register a serialport (Bt)
Have manage to put TomTom5 working with BT Gps.
thanks to "andreuroig"
with this work around:
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In BT, select the OUTGOING port to 8.
3. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 0 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
4. Start TT5 and and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 0 free. Select COM 0 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM 8 (before we set it up at 0).
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 0.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.

The problem is the BT-com port is not visibel in any software neither in Tomtom the Com0 is not visible after the above instruction.

Is there a way to do the BT-com port visible?

Hi, try to do that as listed above BUT replace COM 0 with COM4. This seems to have worked for me, TT5 now works automatically, and I can use Memory Map on COM 4.

More testing tomorrow but it seems to be OK.

Josef, gpsgate is a piece of software that allows you to share a serial port between many different programs at the same time. Try downloading the working demo and see if it helps.

Hi kevwright,cruisin-thru,

kevwright can you reset your device and after connect to Com4 with memory map? Tomtom will work I know.
Please let us know your testing.

cruisin-thru , I have tried GPS-gate and send one e-mail. Haven´t get a replay yet. gpsgate worked well in xdaII

Ah, after reset it does not work, sorry.

This thing also loses the Outgoing Port regardless of reset (just overnight for example) so am at a loss on this one.

Alternately, can we get Memory Map to "see" COM0 as that fix seemed to work for TomTom OK?
